TetonEdge.net: Playing in the Tetons

This past week Derek has been at Scout Camp. This year it was an LDS Encampment up at Ben Delatour Scout Ranch up in Red Feather Lakes, CO. The camp was split between the young boys and the high adventure boys and was a little overbooked, but that tends to be the nature of an LDS Encampment. Overall they had a great time and were able to whitewater down the Poudre hitting class 3 – 4 rapids, hiking around the ranch, and to do the high C.O.P.E course. The last night for the high adventure boys was a Night Owl which consisted of pretty much staying up all night moving from one station to another. For Derek this was tough as most of you know he is not a “Night Owl”. He was asked to man a birthday cake booth from 12:00am – 2:00am and was successful in making it that far, with the boys really only making it that far as well being tired from the previous activities of the week. 

Other than that the only thing new in the Tucker household was last week we drove out to Lincoln, NE to help move in Derek’s sister and brother-in-law into their new apartment. Matt, Derek’s brother-in-law, will be attending Law School at the University of Nebraska this fall. It was long trip, but a great time to enjoy family and see their new apartment and where Matt will be attending school. I guess now we will have to root for Nebraska come football season a little bit more down here in Colorado. 

Well nothing else is going on except the usual work for Nichole and research for Derek. Hope all of you are well. Oh, also pictures from camp have been posted in the gallery and more will be added soon.

Hi everyone,

It’s time for another post seeing as it has been 2 months since the last one. They have been a crazy couple of months.

First we had Traci’s graduation in Odgen Utah from Nursing school. We flew out late Thursday night and with a few weather delays got there around 1am. It was fun to hang out with the family and spend some fun times together. We got back on Sunday night and that was when I got a new calling in our ward. I am now working with the young women ages 16-18 in our ward. It has been  a lot  of fun so far.

I left the next Thursday for Sam’s graduation for her associates degree. It was fun to see the graduation and go to the beach. I also got to see my Grandma and Aunt Linda which was really nice. Derek however stayed home to study for his finals as they were the following Monday and we did not want him to miss them if something went wrong with the flights.

This past weekend we just returned from Youth Conference were we went camping with the young men and young women. We had lots of fun activities and did lots of service for the members whos property that we were staying on. It was lots of fun.

We that is all for now, we hope you are doing well and we will talk to you soon.
